Just wondering: are these two different races belonging to one subtype (ie merely a size issue), or are they a seperate type, like wyverns? In other words, what makes a pseudodragon a dragonet and not a 'real' dragon?

Well, there are dragons and true dragons.

All have the Dragon type.

True Dragons are creatures with the Dragon type and twelve age categories. They include the metallic and chromatic dragons from the MM, the gem dragons from the MM2 (and Psionics Handbook enhancement), the oriental dragons from OA, and more than a few others.

Dragons are all others -- in the MM, that's Dragon-Turtle, Wyvern, and Pseudodragons. The Felldrakes, Linnorms, Drakes, etc. of various sourcebooks fall also in that category.

Dragonnets is a name often used to designate Small or Tiny dragons, like the Pseudodragons and Faery Dragons.

Thanks for the quick reply... so it's not a seperate category. That's what I needed to know...
